14 Non-Manual Signals (facial grammar)REVIEWIn English, vocal intonation helps to clarify if you are asking a question or saying a statement.In ASL, these grammatical clues are given on the face.We will be learning special “facial grammar’ for ASL.This facial grammar or special facial expressions is referred to asNon-Manual Signals (NMS)a.k.a NMM Non-Manual Markers

15 The ‘Question Maker’ faceREVIEWThe Question Maker Face is used when asking a yes/no question.Yes/no questions are asking a question that wants a yes or no answer.Question Maker face(yes/no?)Eyebrows up

17 ASL Up Close REVIEW The Question-Maker I am going to the bathroom.MASL DVDThe Question-MakerRaising our eyebrows forms the Question-Maker, an expression that shows you are asking a question.Keep the eyebrows raised until you’ve completed signing the question.In the example, notice the only difference between a question and a comment is the facial expression.The signs themselves remain the same.BATHROOMI am going to the bathroom.Am I going to the bathroom?MASL p 15

21 Lesson One MASL pp 40-44 Outcomes: Asking for helpCan ask for help;Can ask for and give clarification of unknown terms;Uses the WH face non-manual signal to convey confusion or uncertaintyAsking for helpMaking clarificationsDirectionality (we will do this part later)WH face

23 ASL Up CloseDVD The WH – FaceKnowing how to ask for help is important in any language.In ASL, two key phrases are mean what and explain again.Both phrases use a specific non-manual signal called the WH-Face.You have to use the WH-Face to ask What is your name?Use the WH-Face when you are uncertain, unclear, or asking a question using the signs who, what, where, when, why (see page 64).When you do not understand the teacher, use culturally appropriate techniques to interrupt or gain attention, or raise your hand in class.Make sure you have eye contact before asking for clarification.The examples below show how the WH-Face is used to ask for help.What does it mean? MEAN WHAT (WH-Face)Explain it again. EXPLAIN AGAIN (WH-Face)MASL p 42

108 NOTEDeaf CultureLabels and IdentityMinority groups are often labeled by the larger, surrounding community who are uninterested in how the group identifies itself.This is especially true with individuals considered disabled or handicapped.The Deaf community has been labeled “deaf and dumb” and “deaf-mute” in addition to handicapped, disabled, or abnormal.Over the years the Deaf community has worked to educate hearing people about the negative connotations of many labels, preferring that a positive view of deafness and Deaf culture be respected.MASL p 48Lesson 4

271 Deaf Profile: Andrew Foster( )Andrew J. Foster spent his life dedicated to improving education for Deaf people. A teacher, pioneer, and missionary, his legacy lives on in the many schools he opened in West Africa.Foster was born in a steel-mill town near Birmingham, Alabama and attended the Alabama School for the Colored Deaf in Talladega after losing his hearing at the age of 11. At the Alabama school, he learned ASL and became a life-long proponent of the language. At 17, Foster moved to Michigan taking night classes and working odd jobs. He was accepted at Gallaudet University in 1951 as one of the first three Black Deaf students to be enrolled at the school.While attending Gallaudet, Foster saw an address book of world Deaf schools which listed only 12 in Africa. Foster felt called to service, writing that he was “moved by this vast educational and spiritual void among my people.” He received his Bachelor’s Degree in 1954, and in the next two years received a Masters degree from Easter(n) Michigan University, and a second Masters from Seattle Pacific Christian College.

272 Deaf Profile: Andrew FosterHe was deeply determined to help Deaf people in Africa, but struggling to find help for his mission, he founded the Christian Mission for the Deaf (CMD) in He went to Africa in Within a year he had established the first school for the Deaf in Accra, Ghana in a small room borrowed from a church. Twelve students attended the first year. The school quickly grew to 53 Deaf students. Children met from 4 to 5 in the afternoon, and adults met from 6-7 in the evening. By 1959 the waiting list was over 300.In the following years, Foster continued his life’s work, opening schools for the Deaf all over West Africa. He went to Nigeria and opened three more schools before In all, he established 31 schools for the Deaf in thirteen countries including Ghana, Benin, Congo, Chad, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Cameroon. He also founded the African Bible College for the Deaf and became the President of the Council for the Education and Welfare of the Deaf in Africa. The schools used sign language, becoming oases of communication for Deaf people. In recognition of his amazing achievements, Gallaudet University awarded him the Honorary Doctorate in 1970.

273 Deaf Profile: Andrew FosterA staunch supporter of educating Deaf children through sign language, Foster said in his 1975 keynote speech at the World Federation of the Deaf conference in Washington DC, “Employing restrictive and suppressive means of communication to achieve normalcy seems as illogical as it is impractical.” Foster believed that freedom of communication was the key to education, and that freedom was achieved through sign language.He spent years training teachers in Africa, offering intensive teaching courses (so that) new teachers could go on to set up schools of their own. By 1974, there were 70 Deaf schools in Africa. Continuing his training through the 80s, Foster also continued traveling the world speaking and fundraising for his cause, touching 47 of the 50 U.S. states, speaking throughout Europe and traveling to 25 African countries. In 1987 Foster died at the age of 62 in a plane crash in Rwanda and was buried there.

274 Deaf Profile: Andrew FosterHis inspiring life is evident in the many ways his memory is honored. The National Association of the Deaf’s Andrew J. Foster Award recognizes excellence in teaching at their biennial conference. Gallaudet University and the National Black Deaf Association (NBDA) established the Andrew Foster Endowment that offers scholarships to college-bound African-American students. There is the Andrew Foster Auditorium at Gallaudet University, with a bronze bust of Foster installed in front of the auditorium in 2004, a gift from the NBDA.The most lasting tributes to Foster’s legacy are the schools and their students. Today there are over 300 schools in Africa. Where there once was no education for Deaf people, these schools offer elementary and in some cases high school education to their students. Some have managed to send students to Gallaudet University.

332 NSN 2.11 Negotiating a Sign EnvironmentWalk ThroughWhenever possible, opt to go around, rather than through, a conversation.If there is no choice but to pass through a conversation, pass quickly so the signers won’t be interrupted.Don’t hunch down or wait to be acknowledged by the signers.This disrupts their exchange, since it is much more visually distracting.While not expected, you may sign “excuse me” as you pass through.View. Watch how Isias walks through Stefanie and Priscilla’s conversation.Note: if absent, you will need to come in and make this up in the lab.P 83

333 NSN 2.11 Negotiating a Sign EnvironmentUse TouchWhen your path is too narrow to pass between several groups of signers, it is customary to press someone’s shoulder or upper back, and they will move aside while remaining engaged in their conversation.Avoid tapping, unless you need a person to move more than a few steps aside.Tapping prompts the person to turn toward you, breaking their conversation.View. Watch how Linda touches Priscilla to move her aside and see how Priscilla stays engaged in her conversation with Norman.Note: if absent, you will need to come in and make this up in the lab.P 83

334 NSN 2.11 Negotiating a Sign EnvironmentAsk Person to MovePeople can sometimes unknowingly block your view.If it isn’t possible to adjust your position so you can see, you should ask people to move by pressing their shoulder in the direction that would clear your view.View. Priscilla lets Norman know she needs him to sit back by pressing the front of his shoulder so she can see Isias.Note: if absent, you will need to come in and make this up in the lab.P 83
